G LOVE-=FASTENER'.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,696, dated August5, 1890. Application filed March 12, 1890- Serial No. 343,634. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELIAS RAU'DNITZ, of Prague, (Carolinenthah') in theKingdom of B0- hemia, Austria-I'Iungary, have invented new andusefullmprovements in Glove-Fasteners, also applicable as a fastener forgarments, pocket-books, purses, and other similar articles, of which thefollowingis a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention has for its object to remedy certain defects in fasteningdevices by the manufacture of a fastener which lies flat upon the glove,which can be readily hooked in and out of position without trouble orinconvenience,which has an elegant appearance, is durable, and can bemade at a very low price.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my improved fastening device.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the fastener, showing it both opened andclosed, Fig. 2 being a section, Fig. 3 a side view, and Fig. 4 aninverted plan view, of the same, all on a larger scale. Figs. 5 and 5are respectively a top and side view of the single eyelet, and Fig. 6 isa side sectional View of the button and fastening-eyelet without head.

This improved fastener, which is stamped out of a metal sheet, consistsof the spring button, nipple, or stud a, which,with the tail 0 and theupper part of the fastening-eyelet b, is stamped out of one piece ofmetal. (See Fig. 6.) The round plates d, forming the glove-knots, arefirmly attached to the nipple a and eyelet Z). The nipple a is closedbelow and eircumferentially recessed or grooved at a. It is, moreover,slotted crosswise below at a and thus this part is rendered elastic andacts resiliently when pressed in position. The eyelet Z1 is inserted inthe glove in the usual well-known manner employed in eyeleting, theeyelet f being similarly secured in the other side of the glove-openingat such a distance from the former a may be easily inserted in theeyelet fiwhich is wider at its upper opening, so that, owing to theelasticity of the nipple and to the narrowing of the eyelet f, theformer may snap into the latter and form a secure fastening therewith.

The opening of this improved fastener is equally easy, as the nippleneeds only to be raised to yield or spring together, and thus release itfrom the eyelet This improved fastener is equally applicable tofastening parts of garments, pocketbooks, portfolios, purses,cigar-cases, and other similar articles.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the UnitedStates, is

In a glove-fastener, the combination, with the tail 0, made integralwith the fasteningeyelet Z), and the button or nipple a, grooved orrecessed eircumferentially at a and slotted crosswise at. (t to act as aspring, of the heads (I, clamped on the outer ends of the nipple a andeyelet b, substantially as herein shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

ELIAS RAUDNITZ.
